In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The first time I saw you I promised myself
That somehow I'd be close to you
Even though we were only 15, I swore that you were 22
From the way that you dressed and you moved, I made us up in my head
And I gathered my pride and I walked to you and this is just what I said
[chorus:]
Sit on this bed of dreams on my way home
Hurdling you my design on my way home
Four years later I woke up from my dream and realized that it may be true
The same brown eyes that I once painted in dreams were whispering
I love you
[chorus]
Through the foreign fields
Watch me fade away
In a lighter shade
Here comes yesterday
We are everything
We are wide awake
How bout starting again
[chorus]
That somehow I'd be close to you
Even though we were only 15, I swore that you were 22
From the way that you dressed and you moved, I made us up in my head
And I gathered my pride and I walked to you and this is just what I said
[chorus:]
Sit on this bed of dreams on my way home
Hurdling you my design on my way home
Four years later I woke up from my dream and realized that it may be true
The same brown eyes that I once painted in dreams were whispering
I love you
[chorus]
Through the foreign fields
Watch me fade away
In a lighter shade
Here comes yesterday
We are everything
We are wide awake
How bout starting again
[chorus]

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this is a pretty darn great song...definitely gets more than two thumbs up...i really like the line even though we were only fifteen, i swore that you were twenty-two from the way that you dressed and you moved

This is one of my fav. HTH songs. It's such a soothing song...when I've had a bad day and just want to sleep I can put this track on and it's got this awsome comforting feel to it. It makes me fall asleep with some sort of hope and so peaceful. I REALLY want to see them live...I was so upset last year I couldn't see incubus/HTH together...I was the very last venue date w/ 30 Seconds to Mars before HTH was picked up...someday I will see these guys, someday.
